nyie watanzania mnafunzwa nini vyuoni...mimi nimepigwa na butwaa kuona mnapinga ata hili...dah! kweli education system yenu matata....there are oil classifications mainly according to sulphur levels and it affects the prices significantly...watu kama Annael sijui kama shule umewahi kukanyaga hata kaski moja....
Sweet crude oil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sweet crude oil is a type of petroleum. The New York Mercantile Exchange designates petroleum with less than 0.42% sulfur as sweet.[1] Petroleum containing higher levels of sulfur is called sour crude oil.

Sweet crude oil contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. High-quality, low-sulfur crude oil is commonly used for processing into gasoline and is in high demand, particularly in the industrialized nations. Light sweet crude oil is the most sought-after version of crude oil as it contains a disproportionately large fraction that is directly processed (fractionation) into gasoline (naphtha), kerosene, and high-quality diesel (gas oil). The term sweet originates from the fact that a low level of sulfur provides the oil with a mildly sweet taste and pleasant smell. Nineteenth-century prospectors would taste and smell small quantities of oil to determine its quality.[2]
Light vs Heavy Crude Oil
Light Crude oil is liquid petroleum that has low density and that flows freely at room temperature. It has low viscosity, low specific gravity and high API gravity due to the presence of a high proportion of light hydrocarbon fractions. It generally has a low wax content as well. On the other hand, heavy crude oil or extra heavy crude oil is any type of crude oil which does not flow easily. It is referred to as “heavy” because its density or specific gravity is higher than that of light crude oil. Heavy crude oil has been defined as any liquid petroleum with an API gravity less than 20°. Extra heavy oil is defined with API gravity below 10.0 °API (API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. )

Light crude oil receives a higher price than heavy crude oil on commodity markets because it produces a higher percentage of gasoline and diesel fuel when converted into products by an oil refinery. Heavy crude oil has more negative impact on the environment than its light counterpart since its refinement requires the use of more advanced techniques an the use of contaminants.

The sweet light crude oil Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) is used as a benchmark in oil pricing.

Class A: Because they are light and highly liquid, these clear and volatile oils can spread quickly on impervious surfaces and on water. Their odor is strong and they evaporate quickly, emitting volatiles. Usually flammable, these oils also penetrate porous surfaces, such as dirt and sand, and may remain in areas into which they seep. Humans, fish, and other plant and animal life face danger of toxicity to Class A oils.

Class B: Considered less toxic than Class A, these oils are generally non-sticky but feel waxy or oily. The warmer they get, the more likely Class B oils are soak into surfaces; they can be hard to remove. When volatile components of Class B oils evaporate, the result can be a Class C or D residue. Class B includes medium to heavy oils.

Class C: These heavy, tarry oils, which include residual fuel oils and medium to heavy crudes, are slow to seep into porous solids and are not highly toxic. However, Class C oils are difficult to flush away and can sink in water, so they can smother or drown wildlife.

Class D: Non-fluid, thick oils are comparatively non-toxic and don’t seep into porous surfaces. Mostly black or dark brown, Class D oils tend to dissolve and cover surfaces when they get hot, which makes them hard to cleanup. Heavy crude oils, such as the bitumen found in tar sands, fall into this class.

My friend umeenda shule kusomea ujinga!? I need sopporting documents to support your thread. Lather than using the kenyan news paper for your own propaganda.

Nataka nieleze how mafuta ya Kenya ni best. Siyo kuniletea grade ya mafuta toka sehemu moja.

Mafuta ghafi unaweza pata class mbalimbali ya mafuta baada ya kusafishwa. Acha kuleta usanii hapa.

British explorer and producer Tullow Oil on Tuesday signed a production agreement with the national government, paving the way for the exportation of crude oil from Turkana fields.

The pact draws the roadmap for Kenya's early oil export plan that is expected to pump out 2,000 barrels per day for transportation by trucks and storage at the defunct Kenya Petroleum Refinery's storage tanks in Mombasa.

Movement of the oil, to buyers and markets that the government is yet to make public, is set for June.

"With this agreement, which covers legal and technical issues, we will next month start moving oil from Lokichar to Mombasa for export," Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter said.

Nairobi has enlisted the legal services of London-based white shoe law firm Simmons & Simmons to shepherd the export plan.

Kenya's oil is classified as light and sweet, meaning it has less sulphur.

This type of oil is known to fetch higher prices in the global market because dealers find it easier to refine and it produces high value products - petrol, diesel and kerosene.


It is, however, waxy and sticky, making it necessary to heat it during transportation.

Kenya plans to move between 2,000 and 4,000 barrels of oil per day using flatbed trucks mounted with oil tanktainers (130 barrels) and trains in the absence of a pipeline.

A GOLDMINE

The plan opens a goldmine for truck owners who will be contracted to transport the oil to Mombasa.

The early export scheme seeks to test the receptivity of Kenyan oil in the global market, pending full field development that includes pipeline construction connecting the Turkana oil fields to the port of Lamu.

Nigeria's oil - bonny light - is among the best in the world while Gulf oil is of low quality and is classified as heavy and sour as it comes with lots of sulphur that has to be removed before refining, raising processing costs.

South Sudan's dar blend is also classified as being of poor quality, reaping lower returns while the country's Nile blend is top quality.




Mr Keter said that refurbishment of Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited (KPRL) facilities is ongoing and will soon be completed.



KPRL has 45 tanks, nearly half of which will store the crude from Turkana for shipment while the rest is for refined products.

Kenya expects to embark on large-scale production in 2020 and will export the oil through the 865-kilometre pipeline linking the Turkana oilfields to Lamu port to be built at a cost of Sh210 billion.

100,000BARRELS

The pipeline will enable East Africa's largest economy to pump out about 100,000 barrels a day.

The Turkana oilfields have a lifespan of 25 years.

The government has more recently come under heavy criticism for its rush to enter the saturated oil market, even before crafting a strong business case for the trial.

Global crude prices are now at $55 a barrel from $115 mid-2014.


The government hopes that oil exports will earn the country the much-needed petrodollars and help stem the rising tide of public debt that now stands at half the gross domestic product (GDP).

The Kenya Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas last year warned that government's rush to start exporting crude could cost the economy more than Sh4 billion given the vast distance to be covered by special trucks.

The lobby insists that the State should construct a pipeline before exporting.

But Energy ministry officials argue that Kenya will make a profit from oil sales at $34 - $50 per barrel.

At $34, Kenya's breakeven level is higher compared with top producers like Saudi Arabia ($9), which pumps out 10 million barrels a day and Venezuela ($23.50).

Nigeria's profit level is $31.60, Angola ($35.40) and the US ($36.20), according to Norwaybased consultancy firm Rystad Energy.

Kenya's total oil reserves are estimated at 750 million barrels.
